What is Herbal Medicine?

Herbal medicine involves the therapeutic use of plants to promote health, restore balance, and address the root causes of illness. When prescribed with care, herbs can greatly support the body’s natural healing processes, supporting homeostasis and allowing the body’s organ systems to return to a state of optimal function. They can be utilised in a variety of conditions, from calming the nervous system to improving digestion, easing inflammation, balancing hormones, or building resilience – no matter your health concern, herbs can be powerful allies on your journey to wellness.

 

The Benefits of Herbal Medicine

What to Expect in a Session

During a session with Jessica, you can expect a deep dive into the constellation of your health. Prior to your first appointment you will be sent a pre-questionnaire to fill out, this will be discussed and expanded upon during your initial consultation. We’ll take time to thoroughly explore your health history, current concerns, diet, and lifestyle to create a complete picture of your current state of health. We’ll also get crystal clear about what it is you want to achieve in our time together, clarifying your treatment goals, and outlining a plan of action regarding your unique treatment pathway.

If appropriate, at the end of this session you will be prescribed a herbal remedy, custom made to your specific state of health – this will often be a bottle of liquid herbs but could also be a herbal tea or cream depending on your needs. You will also likely be recommended dietary and lifestyle advice to further support your health journey. This will all be outlined in a digital treatment plan for your convenience following our session.

It’s important to understand that many chronic conditions require a long term treatment approach to resolve. This is why follow-up appointments are generally recommended as they help us track your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed, they can also provide support if other health challenges arise over time.
